Das Umfallen junger Tomatenpflanzen ist ärgerlich, aber kein Grund zur Panik. Wer auf saubere Anzuchtbedingungen, gutes Licht und ein ausgewogenes Gießverhalten achtet, kann diesem Problem gut vorbeugen. Und selbst wenn der Stängel schlappmacht: Tomaten sind zäh und lassen sich oft durch einfache Maßnahmen retten. Zurück zu Tomatopedia Zurück zu Bilddiagnose Umfallkrankheit Wenn Tomaten plötzlich umfallen – der dünne Stängel als Alarmsignal Tomaten zählen zu den beliebtesten Gemüsepflanzen in heimischen Gärten und auf Balkonen. Doch gerade in der Jungpflanzenphase treten gelegentlich Probleme auf, die Gärtner ratlos zurücklassen. Ein häufiges und oft übersehenes Phänomen ist das plötzliche Umfallen junger Tomatenpflanzen. Meist liegt die Ursache dabei im unteren Bereich des Stängels, der auffällig dünn wird und die Pflanze nicht mehr stabil tragen kann. Ursachen für dünne Stängel an der Basis Das sogenannte Umfallen junger Keimlinge ist in vielen Fällen auf eine Krankheit namens Umfallkrankheit (Damping-Off) zurückzuführen. Sie tritt besonders häufig bei der Anzucht im Haus oder Gewächshaus auf. Stauende Nässe und hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit Ein zu feuchtes Mikroklima begünstigt Pilze wie Pythium, Rhizoctonia oder Fusarium, die die Pflanzenbasis befallen. Alte oder nicht sterilisierte Erde In alter Anzuchterde können Krankheitserreger überleben und junge Pflanzen infizieren. Zu dichte Aussaat und schlechte Belüftung Wenn sich Pflanzen gegenseitig das Licht nehmen und die Luft kaum zirkulieren kann, steigen die Infektionsgefahr und das Risiko eines Pilzbefalls. Zu warme Bedingungen bei Lichtmangel Wärme fördert das Längenwachstum, aber ohne ausreichend Licht werden die Stängel schwach und instabil Was man gegen das Umfallen tun kann Um das Umfallen von Tomatenkeimlingen zu vermeiden, helfen folgende Maßnahmen: Verwendung keimfreier Anzuchterde Idealerweise frische Erde verwenden oder vorhandene Erde im Backofen bei 120 °C für 10–15 Minuten sterilisieren. Zurückhaltend gießen Die Erde darf leicht feucht, aber nie dauerhaft nass sein. Staunässe unbedingt vermeiden. Gute Belüftung und nicht zu dicht säen Die Luftzirkulation verringert das Risiko für Pilzinfektionen. Eine rechtzeitige Vereinzelung (Pikieren) hilft ebenfalls. Natürliche Hilfe: Kamillentee Das Gießen mit lauwarmem Kamillentee kann pilzhemmend wirken und die Pflanzen sanft unterstützen. Wenn’s schon passiert ist: Tomaten retten durch Stecklingsvermehrung Ist die Pflanze bereits im unteren Stängelbereich zu dünn geworden oder sogar umgeknickt, muss sie nicht gleich verloren sein. In vielen Fällen lässt sich noch etwas retten: Oben abschneiden und neu bewurzeln Die Pflanze etwa einen Zentimeter oberhalb der dünnsten Stelle abschneiden und den oberen Teil in ein Glas mit Wasser stellen. Nach wenigen Tagen bis Wochen bilden sich neue Wurzeln – anschließend kann die Pflanze neu eingetopft werden. Direkt einpflanzen (bei kräftigem Stängel) Ist der Stängel oberhalb der betroffenen Stelle bereits kräftig genug, kann er direkt in frische Erde gepflanzt werden – tief bis zu den obersten Blättern. Tomaten bilden entlang des vergrabenen Stängels zusätzliche Wurzeln und versorgen sich so zuverlässig. Das Umfallen junger Tomatenpflanzen ist ärgerlich, aber kein Grund zur Panik. Wer auf saubere Anzuchtbedingungen, gutes Licht und ein ausgewogenes Gießverhalten achtet, kann diesem Problem gut vorbeugen. Und selbst wenn der Stängel schlappmacht: Tomaten sind zäh und lassen sich oft durch einfache Maßnahmen retten. Zurück zu Tomatopedia Zurück zu Bilddiagnose

Die Frage, ob Tomaten als Obst oder Gemüse gelten, sorgt häufig für Verwirrung und Debatten. Botanisch gesehen sind Tomaten Beeren und somit Obst, da sie aus den Blüten der Tomatenpflanze entstehen und Samen enthalten. Kulinarisch hingegen werden Tomaten oft als Gemüse betrachtet, da sie in herzhaften Gerichten verwendet werden. Back to overview Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable? When it comes to tomato varieties, the term “heirloom” refers to old varieties that have generally been around sincepassed down unchanged to generations . These varieties often have a rich history and are known for their distinctive properties, flavors and colors. Heirloom tomato varieties become traditionally passed from gardener to gardener , which is why they are called "Heirloom ", which in German means something like "Family heirloom " means. Many people value heirloom tomatoes for their rich flavor and unique aromas compared to the often more uniform commercial tomato varieties. Heirloom tomatoes have in thehave gained a certain popularity in recent years as they preserve the diversity of tomato varieties and preserve the memory of historical or traditional varieties . Many gardeners and collectors strive to grow these varieties and preserve their seeds to preserve their unique properties and taste. Back to overview

Tomato cultivation A short guide from start to finish Growing tomatoes can be a rewarding experience, and there are a few steps to keep in mind to grow healthy tomato plants. Here is a step-by-step guide from sowing to harvesting - also available to download Download PDF guide Tomato Growing Guide 1. Selection of tomato varieties Tomato varieties should be chosen that are suitable for your climate. Please inform yourself beforehand whether you prefer determinate or indeterminate tomatoes (explanation - click here) . The types of tomatoes vary depending on the space available. You can find an overview here: Download overview 2. Sow seeds You can start sowing the seeds about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost in your region. This is usually around early to mid-March. Sowing earlier does not really give you a head start on the harvest later. Procedure: see step-by-step sowing instructions. Download sowing instructions 3. Care of seedlings When the seedlings have reached a height of about 5 cm, they are carefully transplanted into larger pots or directly into the garden if there is no longer any danger of frost. Make sure there is enough light and keep the soil evenly moist. See also the sowing instructions under point 2. 4. Preparing the garden soil Starting in autumn/spring. Loosen the soil and remove weeds. Mix compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to improve the nutrients in the soil. 5. Planting Only plant the plants in the bed after the last frost. This is usually after the Ice Saints, i.e. after May 15th. Planting distance about 60 cm to 90 cm in rows and about 90 cm to 120 cm between rows. 6. Irrigation Keep the soil evenly moist, but definitely avoid waterlogging. The best times to water are early in the morning or late in the evening. 7. Fertilize More information Plants should be fertilized during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. You can find detailed information about fertilizer here: 8. Mulch Mulch the soil around the plants with straw or other organic material. This will help retain moisture and suppress weeds, as well as increase soil fertility. Here are some commonly used organic mulching materials: Straw : Straw is a popular mulching material made from dried stems of cereal crops such as wheat, barley or oats. It is lightweight and easy to spread. Leaves : Fall leaves that have fallen from trees can be shredded and used as mulch. It is an inexpensive option and provides good cover. Wood chips : Made from shredded wood, wood chips or bark mulch last longer than some other mulching materials and are especially useful for suppressing weeds. Compost : Mature compost is an excellent way to enrich soil with nutrients. It can be used as mulch to encourage soil life and improve soil structure. Hay : Hay is similar to straw, but often contains seeds from grass plants that can cause weed problems later. Grass clippings : Freshly cut grass clippings can be used as mulch, but are most effective if dried first to prevent heat damage to plants. Coffee grounds : Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen and make a good mulch for nitrogen-loving plants like tomatoes. Corn cobs : Dried corn cobs can be chopped up and used as mulch. They are especially useful for suppressing weeds. Ground leaves : The leaves can be shredded with a chipper and then used as mulch. Wood chips : Wood chips from thicker branches or pieces of wood can be used as mulch, but they are slower to decompose and should not be incorporated into the soil in large quantities. Paper or cardboard : Shredded newspaper, cardboard or paperboard can be used as a temporary mulch under a layer of other mulching materials to smother weeds. Choosing the best organic mulch material depends on the specific needs and plants in the garden. One can also use a combination of different types of mulch to achieve the desired results. Care should be taken to apply the mulch in a layer thick enough to achieve the desired benefits. 9. Supports There are several ways to support tomato plants to help them grow and produce fruit and to protect the plants from disease. Choosing the best method depends on the tomato variety, available space, climatic conditions and personal preferences. It is important that the chosen method provides sufficient support and enables the plants to be cared for and the fruits to be harvested. Some common methods are listed here: Tomato cages : Tomato cages are cage-shaped metal or wire mesh structures that are placed around the tomato plants. They provide support by surrounding the plants and preventing them from falling or spreading. They are easy to install and ideal for smaller tomato varieties. Rods : Individual poles or stakes are placed next to each tomato plant. The plants are then tied to the poles with string or rubber bands as they grow. This method works well for larger tomato varieties and requires regular care to keep the plants upright. Trellis or trellis: Trellis or trellis is often a latticework of wood or wire that is stretched horizontally across rows of tomato plants. The plants are directed onto the trellis or trellis and allowed to grow along the structure. This method saves space and makes harvesting easier. Tomato strings : In this method, the tomato plants are attached to vertical strings or wires that are attached to a sturdy frame or wall. The plants are then pulled up along the strings, saving space and promoting good air circulation. Hanging baskets : For bush tomatoes or hanging tomato varieties, you can grow tomatoes in hanging baskets. This method is particularly space-saving and can work well in small gardens or on balconies. Natural supports : Some gardeners use natural supports such as twigs, branches or bamboo poles to support their tomato plants. These are simply stuck into the ground and the tomato plants are tied to them. Combined methods : It is also possible to combine the above methods to optimize the stability and growth of tomato plants. 10. Protection against diseases and pests Look for signs of disease and pests and take appropriate control measures, such as removing diseased leaves or using biological agents when necessary. There are various biological agents and methods that can help keep tomato plants healthy such as: B. Crop rotation : Good crop rotation is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases and pests. Tomato plants should not be planted in the same location year after year. You should change the growing area regularly and try to grow other plants in between. Healthy Earth : Healthy soil is the key to healthy plants. Garden soil can be improved by adding compost and other organic materials. This also increases soil fertility. Mulch : Mulching around tomato plants with organic materials such as straw or wood chips helps retain moisture, suppress weeds and protect the soil from extreme temperatures. Water correctly : Tomatoes require regular but not excessive watering. Care should be taken to water the plants at the base and not the leaves to prevent the spread of fungal diseases. Choose disease-resistant varieties : When choosing tomato varieties, preference should be given to those varieties that are resistant to common diseases such as tomato mosaic virus, brown rot and late blight. This is especially important if the tomato plants are planted outdoors without a roof. Encourage natural enemy insects : Certain beneficial insects such as ladybugs and parasitic wasps are natural enemies of pests. Their populations can be encouraged by creating suitable plants and habitats for them in the garden. Handwork : Inspect tomato plants regularly for signs of disease or pests. If problems are identified early, you can react more quickly and minimize damage. Compost tea : Spraying tomato plants with homemade compost tea can help promote plant health and ward off disease.Click HERE and download instructions. Biological pest control : If pests are a problem, resort to biological pesticides such as neem oil or Bacillus thuringiensis (BT). These are less harmful to beneficial insects and the environment compared to chemical pesticides. Copper sprays : Copper sprays can help prevent fungal diseases such as brown rot and late blight. However, they should be used sparingly and according to instructions. It is important to note that a combination of these methods is often most effective. Organic farming practices promote soil health and minimize the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in healthier tomato plants. 11. Harvesting Tomatoes can be harvested 60 to 85 days after sowing, depending on the variety and climatic conditions. Only harvest fully ripe tomatoes. With careful care and attention, tomato plants should produce healthy fruits. It is important to remember that the local Climate and the specific conditions of your own garden can have an influence on success! Therefore, the cultivation methods should be adjusted accordingly.

Zurück zur Übersicht Multiflora in tomato plants: A fascinating growth form The term multiflora describes a special growth form of tomato plants in which numerous flower heads grow in close succession. This arrangement of flowers means that a large amount of fruit can be harvested at the same time. Multiflora types are particularly popular with tomato lovers who attach great importance to a high harvest and an extraordinary appearance of the plant. What exactly does Multiflora mean? Multiflora tomatoes have characteristically branched, elongated inflorescences that often bear more than 20 to 50 flowers per panicle. This is in contrast to conventional tomato varieties, where the inflorescences usually have fewer flowers. The name "multiflora" is derived from the Latin words "multi" (many) and "flora" (flower), which refers to the above-average number of flowers per inflorescence. Image of Multiflora: Marie's Rargarten Benefits of Multiflora Tomatoes High fruit yields: Thanks to the large number of flowers, a Multiflora tomato often produces a larger quantity of small to medium-sized fruits. This means that one plant can produce a higher yield than conventional varieties. Decorative effect: The lush, richly branched inflorescences have a strong visual impact and make the plant an eye-catcher in the garden or on the balcony. This is particularly attractive for gardeners who value aesthetic aspects of their plants. Compact growth: Multiflora tomatoes often tend to have a slightly more compact growth habit, making them ideal for growing in smaller gardens or in pots. Despite their compact growth, they produce an impressive number of fruits. Well-known Multiflora varieties "Red Marble": A well-known and popular multiflora variety that produces many small red fruits. "Hundreds & Thousands": This variety gets its name from the impressive number of fruits it produces on one plant. "Yellow Currant": A small-fruited yellow tomato variety that impresses with its decorative inflorescences and the large number of small, sweet fruits. Care of Multiflora Tomatoes Multiflora tomatoes have similar care requirements to traditional tomato varieties, but require special attention in terms of supporting their branches. Since the inflorescences can become heavy once the fruit ripens, it is important to support the plant well to prevent the panicles from breaking off. In addition, multiflora tomatoes should be pruned regularly to control growth and ensure optimal fruit development. Due to the high fruit load, these varieties often require more nutrients and water, especially during the flowering and fruit formation phase. Multiflora in breeding Multiflora tomatoes offer an interesting field of research for breeders, as the varieties are being further developed due to their high yield and decorative properties. These varieties are becoming increasingly popular, especially in urban agriculture and among tomato lovers who want to achieve high yields in a small area. Multiflora tomatoes offer impressive flowering and high fruit yields, which makes them particularly interesting for ambitious hobby gardeners and breeders. They combine an aesthetic plant shape with high productivity and are an exciting element in every tomato garden. With the right care and support, these varieties can provide an abundance of delicious fruit and at the same time represent a visual highlight. Zurück zur Übersicht

Die Dürrfleckenkrankheit (Alternaria solani) ist eine schädliche Erkrankung von Tomatenpflanzen, die durch Pilze oder Bakterien verursacht wird und zu trockenen Flecken auf Blättern, Stängeln und Früchten führt. Erfahren Sie, wie Sie diese Krankheit erkennen, welche Ursachen sie hat und welche Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung und Prävention effektiv sind. Zurück zu Tomatopedia Zurück zu Bilddiagnose dry spot disease Dry spot disease is characterized by the appearance of small, dry spots on the leaves, stems and fruits of tomato plants. These spots can grow and spread over time, causing a significant reduction in plant health and crop yield. Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the infection and the specific pathogen. Causes of Dry Spot Disease The main causes of dry spot disease in tomatoes are fungi and bacteria that occur in the environment or in the soil. The most common pathogens include: Fusarium oxysporum: A soil fungus that causes Fusarium wilt and is often found in tomato plants when they are grown in poorly aerated or heavily stressed soils. Alternaria solani: Also known as Alternaria leaf spot, this fungus causes typical spots on the leaves and can cause severe damage to the plants. Cladosporium spp.: These fungi are also responsible for the appearance of spots on the leaves and fruits. In addition to these fungal pathogens, bacterial infections such as leaf spot disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris can also cause similar symptoms. Symptoms of Dry Spot Disease Symptoms of dry spot often begin with small, watery spots on the leaves that quickly develop into dry, brown or black spots. These spots may have a yellowish edge and become larger and drier over time. Spots may also appear on the stems, often leading to weakening of the plant. Hard, dark spots may form on fruit, damaging the flesh. Measures to Combat Dry Spot Disease choose resistant varieties Some tomato varieties are more resistant to blight. Growing such varieties can significantly reduce the risk of infection. Proper watering Excessive moisture or irregular watering can promote the growth of pathogens. It is important to ensure consistent watering and avoid waterlogging. floor care Good soil aeration and avoiding over-fertilization can help reduce the risk of infections. Maintaining crop rotation and avoiding growing tomatoes in the same spot every year are also useful. cleanliness and hygiene Regularly cleaning gardens and removing diseased plant parts can prevent the spread of the disease. Disinfecting tools and equipment is also important. optimize growth conditions Ensuring that plants receive adequate sunlight, good air circulation and an appropriate temperature can help minimize the risk of infection. Difference between potassium deficiency and dry spot disease Based on the characteristic features in the photo above, it is safe to say that it is Dry Spot Disease (Alternaria solani). The following features support this diagnosis: Circular spots : The brown spots visible in the picture are irregularly shaped and sometimes have concentric circles, which is typical of dry spot disease. Spot distribution : The spots are not only on the edge, but are distributed over the entire leaf. Potassium deficiency is usually indicated by brown edges, while the inside of the leaf often remains green. Progression of the disease : In dry spot disease, the spots enlarge and the surrounding tissue turns yellow, which can also be seen in the picture. A potassium deficiency could show similar symptoms, especially at the edges of the leaves. However, typical symptoms such as discoloration along the leaf veins and the severe marginal necrosis that are more likely to occur with potassium deficiency are missing here. For a definitive diagnosis, it would be ideal to conduct a soil analysis to check nutrient levels or consult a plant laboratory that can test samples for fungal infections.

The frequency with which tomato plants should be fertilized depends on several factors, including the fertilizer used, the soil in which the tomatoes are growing, and the growth stage of the plants.The fertilization needs of tomato plants can vary from season to season, and it is important to be flexible to respond to specific conditions in the garden. Basic fertilization : Before tomato plants are even planted in the ground, the soil should be well prepared by incorporating organic fertilizer (green waste, horn shavings, manure, algae extracts, etc.) or compost. This ensures a solid basic supply of nutrients. Organic fertilizers also have the advantage of providing slow-release nutrients that are available over a longer period of time. They also promote soil structure and soil life and help preserve the environment as they are generally more environmentally friendly than synthetic fertilizers. Long-term fertilizer : Slow-release fertilizers that release nutrients over a longer period of time can also be used. These may only need to be added once at the start of the season. These include, for example: B. Zeolite (mineral that can store nutrients in the soil and then release them to plants as needed), algae extracts, sheep's wool, sheep's wool pellets, compost or long-term fertilizer sticks. liquid fertilizer : If liquid fertilizer is used, you can start fertilizing the tomatoes about 2 to 4 weeks after planting. Then pay attention to the instructions for use on the packaging. growth phase : The fertilizer needs of tomato plants change throughout their life cycle. During the growth phase, when plants develop many leaves and shoots, they need more nitrogen. During fruit formation, they require more phosphorus and potassium. frequency : As a rule, it is better to fertilize more often with a weaker fertilizer solution rather than fertilize less often with a strong solution. This prevents overfertilization and the risk of nutrient burn. observation : It is important to observe the plants carefully. If any signs of nutrient deficiency are noticed, such as yellow leaves, slow development or poor fruit production, fertilizer may need to be applied more often. Soil testing : It is also helpful to conduct a soil test to determine the exact nutrient needs of tomato plants. This can help with the correct selection and dosage of fertilizers. It's also important to note that too much fertilizer can be harmful, so a conservative approach is often safer. Too much fertilizer can also be harmful, so a conservative approach is often better.

Tauche ein in die Welt der Tomatenpflege und lerne, wie du durch diese Praxis deine Pflanzen optimal unterstützen und pflegen kannst." Zurück zur Übersicht 9. What does culling mean for tomatoes and which varieties are culled? "Ausgeizen " ist ein gärtnerischer Begriff, der das Entfernen der Seitentriebe einer Pflanze bezeichnet. Dieser Vorgang wird insbesondere bei Stabtomatenpflanzen angewendet, um sicherzustellen, dass die Pflanze ihre gesamte Energie in die Haupttriebe und die Entwicklung ihrer Früchte steckt. Durch das Ausgeizen wird erreicht, dass die Früchte schneller und in der Regel von besserer Qualität reifen. Diese Praxis wird in der Regel ausschließlich bei Stabtomaten angewendet. Die Haupttriebe werden priorisiert, indem die Seitentriebe entfernt werden. Auf diese Weise konzentriert die Pflanze ihre Ressourcen auf die Haupttriebe, was zu einer besseren Fruchtbildung führt. Im Gegensatz dazu ist es bei Buschtomaten nicht erforderlich sie auszugeizen. Bei diesen Pflanzen ist es nicht notwendig, die Seitentriebe zu entfernen, da sie in ihrer natürlichen Wuchsform belassen werden können. Buschtomaten haben eine kompaktere Wuchsform, und das Wachstum ihrer Seitentriebe beeinflusst in der Regel nicht die Fruchtbildung oder die Pflanzengesundheit. Daher dürfen Buschtomaten in der Regel einfach in ihrem natürlichen Wuchs wachsen, ohne dass ein Ausgeizen erforderlich ist. Geiztrieb einer Tomate Zurück zur Übersicht

Zurück zu Tomatopedia Zurück zu Bilddiagnose Understanding tomato leaf curl: What's behind it and how to fix it Leaf Curling on Tomato Plants: Causes, Diagnosis, and Solutions Leaf curling on tomato plants is an issue that can concern both beginners and experienced gardeners alike. This visible change can have several causes, ranging from natural reactions to environmental conditions to signs of pest infestations or diseases. This article explores the various reasons for leaf curling on tomatoes and provides practical tips for diagnosis and treatment to keep your tomato plants healthy and productive. Causes of Leaf Curling on Tomato Plants Water Stress Overwatering: Too much water can lead to root rot, preventing the plant from absorbing enough water and nutrients. This can cause the leaves to curl. Underwatering: On the other hand, too little water can also stress the plant. The plant attempts to reduce water evaporation by curling the leaves to decrease the surface area. Temperature Stress High temperatures and intense sunlight can cause the leaves to curl as a protective measure against excessive evaporation and heat damage. Nutrient Deficiency A deficiency in certain nutrients, particularly potassium, can also cause leaf curling. Potassium is important for regulating the plant's water balance. Pest Infestation and Diseases Pests like aphids or spider mites can damage the leaves and cause them to curl. Diseases such as Tomato Mosaic Virus can cause similar symptoms. Physiological Curling Some tomato varieties naturally tend to curl their leaves under certain environmental conditions. This is typically not a cause for concern and does not harm the plant. Solutions and Preventive Measures Proper Watering Ensure consistent and moderate watering. The soil should be moist, but not waterlogged. A layer of mulch can help regulate soil moisture and minimize temperature fluctuations. Optimal Location Choose a planting location that offers plenty of sunlight but provides some shade during the hottest parts of the day. A greenhouse or shade net can help mitigate extreme conditions. Nutrient Supply Pay attention to balanced fertilization. A fertilizer with a higher potassium content can help prevent deficiencies. Regular soil tests can provide insights into nutrient levels and enable targeted fertilization. Pest Control Regularly check plants for pests and diseases. In case of an infestation, biological pest control agents or beneficial insects like ladybugs can help. Variety Selection Choose tomato varieties that are less prone to leaf curling. Instructions for diagnosing and treating curled leaves on tomato plants Curling of leaves on tomato plants can be a sign of several problems. This guide will help you identify the cause and take appropriate measures to restore your plants to health. 1. Cause: water stress Overwatering Symptoms: Leaves curl downward and appear limp. Solution: Check the soil for waterlogging. Reduce watering and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Underwatering Symptoms: Leaves curl upward and feel dry. Solution: Water the plants evenly, but avoid waterlogging. A layer of mulch helps to retain soil moisture. 2. Cause: Temperature stress High temperatures Symptoms: Leaves curl during hot days. Solution: Protect the plants with shade nets or fleece during the hottest part of the day. You should also make sure that the plants receive sufficient water. 3. Cause: Nutrient deficiency Potassium deficiency Symptoms: Leaves curl, plant growth slows, older leaves show yellow edges. Solution: Use a fertilizer rich in potassium. 4. Cause: Pest infestation and diseases Aphids and spider mites Symptoms: Deformed, rolled leaves, sometimes sticky residue. Solution: Remove affected leaves. Use biological pesticides or beneficial insects such as ladybugs. Tomato mosaic virus Symptoms: Mosaic-like leaf discoloration, rolled leaves. Solution: Remove and dispose of infected plants. Disinfect tools to prevent further spread. 5. Cause: Physiological rolling Variety-dependent behavior Symptoms: Leaves naturally curl in certain varieties without any other signs of disease. Solution: No action is required. Just check that the plant is otherwise healthy. Download PDF Diagnostic Guide Zurück zu Tomatopedia Zurück zu Bilddiagnose

Entdecke alles Wissenswerte über den Reifegrad grüner Tomatensorten auf meiner informativen Seite. Hier erfährst du, wann man erkennt ob grüne Tomatensorten reif sind und welche Anzeichen auf ihre Reife hindeuten. Zurück zur Übersicht 15. How do you know that green tomato varieties are ripe? Grüne Tomaten: Mythos oder Realität der Giftigkeit? Die Frage, ob grüne Tomaten giftig sind, sorgt immer wieder für Unsicherheit und Verwirrung. Tatsächlich gibt es eine gewisse Wahrheit hinter diesem Mythos, aber es ist wichtig zu betonen, dass nicht alle grünen Tomaten gleichermaßen als giftig betrachtet werden können . Die meisten Tomaten werden rot, wenn sie reif sind, aber es gibt bestimmte Sorten, die auch in einem unreif aussehenden , grünen Zustand genossen werden können. Die Verwirrung entsteht oft aufgrund von Alkaloiden, insbesondere Solanin, die in unreifen Tomaten in höheren Konzentrationen vorkommen können. Jedoch ist es wichtig zu betonen, dass es spezielle grüne Tomatensorten gibt , bei denen der Solanin Gehalt niedrig ist und die daher als sicher für den Verzehr im reifen Zustand gelten. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist die "Green Zebra" Tomate, die speziell für ihren erfrischenden Geschmack und ihre grüne Farbe , im Reifen wie auch im unreifen Zustand, gezüchtet wurde (siehe Bilder unten). Trotzdem sollte Vorsicht walten, wenn es um den Verzehr von allgemeinen, unreifen Tomaten geht. An easy way to determine the ripeness of green tomato varieties is to look at their color . When the original green slowly turns to yellow , This often signals that the tomatoes are ripening . This color change is clearly visible in the picture. The tomato on the left (pictured right) shows the characteristic yellow-green coloring of a ripe Green Zebra tomato, while the tomato on the right (pictured left) is still in an immature green stage. Observing this color change is a reliable way to determine when green tomato varieties have reached their optimal ripeness. Green Zebra Immature Ripe Green Zebra Immature Ripe Zurück zur Übersicht

Please ensure that the decoctions are applied regularly and that the plants are monitored to be able to react to early problems. Use the different broths alternately to avoid overloading the plants and to provide them with a wide range of nutrients and protective substances. Do not mix herbal broths directly together, but use them separately at certain intervals. For example, you could use onion peel broth one week and nettle broth the next week. Pay attention to how your plants react to the different solutions. If they show signs of stress or over-fertilization, adjust the application accordingly. Nettle Stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) are often considered a weed, but their use as a natural fertilizer and pesticide in gardening has proven extremely beneficial. For tomato plants in particular, nettle manure (a fermented extract of nettles) can promote plant health and increase yields. Benefits of nettle manure Nutrient supply Nettles are rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, iron, magnesium and calcium. These nutrients promote the growth and development of tomato plants and improve fruit formation. Strengthening plant growth By supplying plants with important nutrients, nettle manure strengthens plant growth and increases resistance to diseases and pests. Soil improvement Regular use of nettle manure can improve soil structure, increase microbial activity and promote the soil's water retention capacity. Natural pest control Nettle manure can repel pests such as aphids and spider mites. Its use reduces the need for chemical pesticides and promotes a healthy ecosystem in the garden. Production of nettle manure Making nettle manure is easy and requires only a few ingredients: Fresh nettles Water A large container Collecting: Pick fresh nettles (preferably before flowering). Chopping: Roughly chop the nettles. Mixing: Put the nettles in a large container and fill it with water. Use a mixing ratio of about 1 kilogram of nettles to 10 liters of water. Fermentation: Allow the mixture to ferment for about 1-2 weeks. Stir daily to encourage the fermentation process. Filtering: Filter the liquid to remove the solids. The remaining liquid is the nettle manure. Application of nettle manure Nettle manure should always be used diluted , as concentrated form can be too strong for the plants. The following table shows the recommended mixing ratios: Using nettle manure is an effective, environmentally friendly way to promote the health and growth of tomato plants. When used correctly, it can improve plant health. Here you can download the PDF on the subject of nettles. PDF Nettle Field horsetail Horsetail, also known as shave grass, is a plant with remarkable properties that is valued not only in herbal medicine but also in horticulture. Particularly in tomato cultivation, horsetail can make an important contribution to the health and vitality of the plants. In this article, we take a look at the benefits of horsetail for tomato plants, the right time for harvesting, and provide a mixing ratio for making a horsetail decoction. The Importance of Horsetail for Tomato Plants Horsetail contains a high concentration of silica, which is extremely beneficial for plants. Silica strengthens the plant cell walls, thereby improving their resistance to diseases and pests. By using horsetail decoction, tomato plants can become more resistant to fungal diseases, such as the dreaded blight. Additionally, silica promotes the growth of stronger plants and supports fruiting. The Right Time to Harvest Horsetail An important aspect of using horsetail in horticulture is the harvesting time. Horsetail should ideally be harvested by the end of June, as this is when the silica content in the plant is at its highest. After June, the silica content decreases, which reduces its effectiveness for plant health. Distinguishing Between Horsetail and Wood Horsetail It is important to distinguish between field horsetail (Equisetum arvense) and wood horsetail (Equisetum sylvaticum), as the two species have different characteristics and uses. Field Horsetail (Equisetum arvense): Prefers dry, sandy soils, fields, and road edges. The shoots are hollow with regular, sharp-edged rings. Used in gardening and herbal medicine, especially for making decoctions to strengthen plants and combat diseases. Contains a high concentration of silica, making it valuable for plant health. Wood Horsetail (Equisetum sylvaticum): Prefers moist, shady locations like forests, marshes, and waterfront areas. The shoots are also hollow, but the rings are less pronounced and not as sharp as those of field horsetail. Does not play a significant role in gardening or herbal medicine like field horsetail. Also contains silica, but in lower concentrations than field horsetail. Both types of horsetail contain silica and have similar properties, but field horsetail is the species most commonly used in gardening and for making decoctions for plants, due to its availability and specific characteristics. When collecting horsetail, it is important to identify the correct species to avoid confusion and achieve the desired results. Making Horsetail Decoction Making horsetail decoction is simple and requires only a few steps: Harvesting: Collect fresh horsetail by the end of June—300 grams of fresh or 30 grams of dried horsetail. Chopping: Cut the horsetail into small pieces to increase the surface area. Soaking: Place the chopped horsetail in a large pot and cover it with 2 liters of water (horsetail to water ratio), allowing it to soak for 24 hours. Simmering: Bring the water to a boil and let the horsetail simmer for about 30 minutes. Straining: Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cloth to remove solid particles. Storage: Pour the liquid into clean bottles or containers and store it in a cool, dark place. Applying Horsetail Decoction Horsetail decoction can be used both as a foliar spray and as a soil treatment. Foliar Spray: Spray the decoction evenly on the leaves, making sure to wet both the top and bottom sides of the leaves. Soil Treatment: Pour the decoction directly around the base of the tomato plants to reach the roots. For preventive measures, an application every two weeks is sufficient, while for acute problems, a weekly application is recommended. For general plant strengthening, the decoction can be applied monthly. Here is a table with the mixing ratio of horsetail decoction to water for optimal application: 1:10 (1 part decoction to 10 parts water)For general plant care and prevention 1:5 (1 part decoction to 5 parts water)For more serious fungal problems or acute issues This table ensures proper dilution for optimal effectiveness in promoting plant health. Ackerschachtelhalm Merkmale: Triebe sind hohl und haben regelmäßige, scharfkantige Ringe Waldschachtelhalm Merkmal: Triebe sind ebenfalls hohl, aber die Ringe sind weniger ausgeprägt und weniger scharfkantig als beim Ackerschachtelhalm Unterschied Ackerschachtelhalm_Waldschachtehalm Hier sieht man deutliche den Unterschied zwischen dem Ackerschachtelhalm (links) und dem Waldschachtelhalm (rechts). Horsetail is a natural and effective way to promote the health and vitality of tomato plants. With its rich source of silica, it strengthens the plants and helps to ward off diseases. However, you should make sure to harvest at the right time by the end of June to benefit from the full effectiveness. By regularly using horsetail broth, you can keep your tomato plants healthy and productive without the use of chemicals. Here you can download the PDF on the subject of field horsetail. PDF Field Horsetail Garlic Garlic is not only an essential spice in the kitchen, but it is also an effective way to promote the health of your tomato plants in the garden. From repelling pests to boosting the immune system, garlic offers a variety of benefits for tomatoes. Natural pest control Garlic is known for its repelling properties against a variety of pests that can attack tomatoes. The sulfur compounds it contains act as natural insecticides and can keep pests such as aphids, whiteflies and caterpillars away. Garlic is also effective against fungal diseases such as mildew and brown rot. Strengthening the immune system The antioxidants and sulfur compounds contained in garlic strengthen the immune defenses of tomato plants. They help the plants to better fight diseases and stress, resulting in healthier and more resilient tomatoes. Promoting growth Garlic contains natural growth promoters that can stimulate root growth. Strong and healthy roots are crucial for nutrient absorption and growth of the entire plant. Using garlic can help support the growth of tomato plants. Making the garlic broth An easy way to reap the benefits of garlic is to make a garlic broth that is applied as an undiluted spray. Ingredients: 10 garlic cloves or 100 grams of garlic cloves 1 litre of water Spray bottle Directions: Peel the garlic cloves and chop coarsely. Put the crushed garlic cloves in 1 liter of water and let the mixture stand overnight. The next day, strain the mixture to remove any solid particles. Pour the garlic broth into a spray bottle. Application Spray the garlic broth undiluted onto the leaves and soil around the tomato plants (especially the undersides of the leaves, where pests like to hide). Repeat the application every 1-2 weeks or after rainfall. With this simple but effective method, you can protect your tomato plants naturally and promote their growth without having to resort to chemicals.

Zudem gibt es eine kostenlose Aussaatanleitung im pdf-Format zum Downloaden. Zurück zur Übersicht 13. When is the best time to start sowing and what kind of soil do you use? Es gestaltet sich schwierig, einen exakten Aussaatzeitpunkt festzulegen, da jeder Hobbygärtner seine eigenen Erfahrungen sammelt. Persönlich habe ich festgestellt, dass es sinnvoll ist, mittelspäte und spätreifende Tomatensorten bereits Ende Januar bis spätestens Mitte Februar auszusäen. Dies ermöglicht den Pflanzen eine ausreichende Wachstumszeit, da in unseren Breitengraden ab Mitte September die Temperaturen bereits merklich abfallen und die Sonneneinstrahlung abnimmt, was die Reifezeit beeinträchtigen kann. Für alle anderen Sorten, insbesondere früh- und mittelfrühreifende, reicht in der Regel eine Aussaat Anfang bis spätestens Ende März aus. Die Aussaat erfolgt am besten in spezieller Anzuchterde, die wenig Nährstoffe enthält. Dies fördert das Wurzelwachstum der Tomatenpflanzen und legt somit den Grundstein für eine gesunde Entwicklung.

Hey, auf der Suche nach Antworten? Vergeilung bei Tomatenpflanzen entsteht, wenn sie sich strecken und dünn werden, oft aufgrund von Lichtmangel. Das führt zu schwachen, biegsamen Stielen, minderer Fruchtbildung und geringer Widerstandsfähigkeit. Entdecke hier, wie du Vergeilung erkennst, vorbeugst und behandelst, um deine Tomaten stark und gesund wachsen zu lassen! Zurück zur Übersicht 16. What does rotting mean on tomato plants? Bei der Voranzucht von Tomatenpflanzen kann es gelegentlich vorkommen, dass die Jungpflanzen unter einem Phänomen leiden, das als "Vergeilen " bekannt ist. Dieser Zustand tritt auf, wenn die Pflanzen aufgrund von zu wenig Licht und zu viel Wärme übermäßig schnell in die Höhe wachsen . Die Sämlinge strecken sich förmlich nach dem Licht, was dazu führt, dass sie dünn und lang werden, wie es auf dem Bild zu sehen ist. Es ist wichtig zu wissen, dass Jungpflanzen, die diesem Zustand verfallen sind, leider nicht mehr verwendbar sind. Für sie ist eine Neuaussaat ratsam. Jedoch gibt es eine Möglichkeit, eine bereits betroffene, aber noch lebensfähige Pflanze zu retten. Die vierte umgekippte Pflanze könnte bis zu ihren jungen Blättern in die Erde gesteckt werden. Es ist wichtig, sie in einen hellen Bereich zu platzieren, der jedoch kühler ist – idealerweise bei einer Temperatur von 17 bis 18 Grad. Durch dieses Verfahren können neue Wurzeln entstehen, und die Pflanze wird aufgrund der kühleren Umgebung langsamer wachsen. Das Einpflanzen bis zu den jungen Blättern und die neue Anordnung in einer kühleren Umgebung schaffen optimale Bedingungen für das Wachstum neuer Wurzeln. Diese Maßnahme ermöglicht es der betroffenen Pflanze, sich zu erholen und ihre Vitalität wiederzuerlangen. Es ist jedoch zu beachten, dass die Pflanze Zeit benötigt, um sich zu regenerieren. “Rooted” seedlings Zurück zur Übersicht

Beim Entspitzen handelt es sich um einen gärtnerischen Schritt, bei dem der Haupttrieb oder auch die Spitze der Pflanze entfernt wird. Dieser Prozess ist darauf ausgerichtet, das unkontrollierte Höhenwachstum der Pflanze zu begrenzen. Tomaten haben von Natur aus ein starkes Wachstumspotenzial, und das Entfernen der Triebspitzen hilft, dass die Pflanze nicht unkontrolliert in die Höhe schießt. Der Hauptgrund für das Entspitzen ist, dass eine zu lange und hoch wachsende Pflanze nicht nur schwieriger zu pflegen ist, sondern auch die Fruchtbildung beeinträchtigen kann. Wenn die Tomatenpflanze zu groß und unkontrolliert wächst, investiert sie ihre Energie möglicherweise vermehrt in das Wachstum von neuen Trieben und Blättern anstatt in die Ausreifung der bereits vorhandenen Früchte. Das Ergebnis könnte sein, dass die Früchte kleiner und weniger zahlreich ausfallen. Durch das Entspitzen fokussiert die Pflanze ihre Energie auf die bestehenden Früchte und Blüten. Die Pflanze konzentriert sich somit stärker auf die Reifung und Entwicklung der vorhandenen Früchte, was zu einer höheren Qualität und einer besseren Ausnutzung der Ressourcen führt. Entspitzen ist jedoch keine universelle Regel, sondern eine Praxis, die von verschiedenen Faktoren abhängt, wie der Tomatensorte, dem Klima und den individuellen Anbauzielen. Manche Sorten benötigen möglicherweise weniger Entspitzen als andere. Overall, topping your tomato plants can be a worthwhile measure to control growth, keep the plant healthy, and ensure a bountiful harvest of high-quality fruit. It is advisable to learn about the specific needs of the tomato variety you are growing and consider your own garden conditions before beginning topping. Zurück zur Übersicht

Die hängende Kultivierung von Tomaten ist eine spannende Anbaumethode, die nicht nur Platz spart, sondern auch für eine reichhaltige Ernte sorgt. Diese Technik erfreut sich zunehmender Beliebtheit bei Gärtnern, die kreative Lösungen für begrenzte Anbauflächen suchen und dabei gleichzeitig die Schönheit ihrer Pflanzen betonen möchten. Zurück zur Übersicht Cultivating hanging tomatoes: An innovative cultivation method Hanging tomato cultivation is an exciting method of growing tomatoes that not only saves space but also ensures a bountiful harvest. This technique is becoming increasingly popular among gardeners who are looking for creative solutions for limited growing space while emphasizing the beauty of their plants. What does hanging cultivation mean? In hanging cultivation, tomato plants are grown hanging downwards in special containers or baskets. This cultivation method allows for optimal light and better air circulation. The result is healthy plants that are less susceptible to disease and produce a bountiful harvest. Advantages of hanging cultivation Space saving : Especially in small gardens or on balconies, vertical space can be used optimally. Hanging tomato plants take up less floor space, making it easier to plant other plants. Improved plant health : The hanging position allows for better ventilation of the plant, reducing the risk of mold and rot, and making the fruit less susceptible to soil diseases. Easy Harvesting : Harvesting is easier because the fruit hangs at handle height and there is no need to bend down. This makes harvesting fresh tomatoes quick and convenient. Suitable tomato varieties for hanging cultivation Not every tomato variety is suitable for hanging cultivation. The best ones are: Cherry tomatoes : These small, sweet fruits are perfect for growing in hanging containers and contribute abundantly to the harvest. Balcony tomatoes : Specially bred varieties that grow compactly and thrive in pots, raised beds and hanging plants. Cocktail tomatoes : These varieties are also ideal for hanging cultivation and offer a variety of flavors. Care of hanging tomatoes Caring for hanging tomatoes requires some specific measures: Watering : Since plants dry out more quickly in pots, regular watering is important. Good drainage is crucial to avoid waterlogging. Fertilizing : Hanging tomatoes need additional nutrients during the growth phase. A liquid tomato fertilizer promotes development and fruit formation. Support : Make sure the plants are well supported, especially when they start to bear fruit. Proper support will prevent shoots from breaking. Hanging cultivation of tomatoes offers an attractive and efficient way to grow these popular plants. With the right selection of varieties and appropriate care, gardeners can not only make the most of the space, but also enjoy the harvest and enhance the garden or balcony. Discover the fascination of hanging tomatoes and be amazed by the variety and taste! Zurück zur Übersicht

Adventivwurzeln bei Tomaten sind zusätzliche Wurzeln, die aus dem Stängel wachsen und die Nährstoffaufnahme, Stabilität und Krankheitsresistenz der Pflanze verbessern. Erfahre, wie Feuchtigkeit, Bodendeckung und Pflege die Bildung dieser wichtigen Wurzeln fördern und die Gesundheit der Tomatenpflanzen steigern können. Back to overview Adventitious roots in tomatoes: meaning, formation and care Adventitious roots, also known as aerial roots, are roots that do not originate from the primary root system of a plant, but rather from other parts of the plant such as the stem, leaves, or even the flowers. In tomatoes, adventitious roots play a significant role in the plant's growth and health. Formation of Adventitious Roots Adventitious roots in tomatoes typically develop from the lower part of the stem, especially when this area comes into contact with soil or moisture. This often occurs during planting, when the stem is partially buried in the soil. The formation of these roots is influenced by a variety of factors: Moisture High humidity and frequent watering promote the development of adventitious roots. Soil coverage Mounding soil around the stem or mulching with organic material can stimulate the formation of adventitious roots. Injuries Damage to the stem, whether caused by insects or mechanical injury, can also trigger the growth of adventitious roots. Hormones Plant hormones like auxins play a crucial role in the formation of adventitious roots. Importance of Adventitious Roots Adventitious roots offer several benefits for tomato plants: Improved nutrient uptake The additional root system allows tomato plants to more efficiently absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Increased stability Adventitious roots help stabilize the plant, especially in tall-growing tomato varieties that are prone to tipping over. Disease resistance A dense root system can make the plant more resistant to soil-borne pathogens, as more root mass promotes healthier roots. Stress management During times of drought or nutrient deficiency, adventitious roots can help reduce stress for the plant. Care for Adventitious Roots To promote the formation and functionality of adventitious roots in tomatoes, gardeners should keep the following care tips in mind: Proper planting When planting tomato seedlings, bury the stem up to the first leaves in the soil to encourage the formation of adventitious roots. Regular mounding Throughout the growing season, regularly mound soil around the base of the stem to support the formation of new adventitious roots. Watering Consistent and adequate watering is crucial, as moisture encourages root development. Soil care Well-aerated and nutrient-rich soil supports the growth of adventitious roots. Compost and organic mulch can help achieve this. Disease control Regularly check for diseases and pests that could damage the stem, as this helps maintain the health of the adventitious roots. Adventitious roots are of great importance for tomato plants and offer a variety of advantages in terms of nutrient uptake, stability and disease resistance. Through targeted care measures, you can promote the formation and function of these special roots and thus improve the health and productivity of your tomato plants. Knowledge of the factors that promote the formation of adventitious roots and the implementation of appropriate care measures are therefore essential for successful tomato cultivation.
